[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3637519, member: 24302"] Trouble is amigo you won't accept any answer but what you want to hear. I believe you sincerely believe that Obama must have done something to assist the Ukrainians, and were probably surprised to learn he didn't. That's what's so ironic about the latest ballyhoo concerning Trump/Putin. Everyone on the Left is so certain Trump is Putin's stooge, yet they aren't being made aware of what Trump is actually doing. Everything is twisted to make him look bad and that's along with himself stumbling along. But he's doing the right thing in Ukraine, and was doing it before it would've been considered playing to current politics. Will it stop Putin? If Putin loses a bunch of tanks and their crews it'll make him look foolish at home. He won't risk that. He'll take the easy way out, saying he protected their Russian cousins in the Donbass from being dominated by those nasty Ukrainians. Everyone will say good job and that'll be that until he perceives a weak president in the future who won't stop him from taking half the territory of another former Soviet republic. Most likely Kazakhstan, where 25% of the population is Russian and they have oil and wheat. And for those keeping score I surmised this from a number of news sources as well as my research on Central Asia, not FOX News. And for those making snarky comments on my being in the former U.S.S.R., they all hate the Russians with a passion, and I've received nothing but genuine admiration for the U.S. here. For those stupid enough to put these places down, I thought the idea was to convince them to turn away from communism and embrace capitalism? They certainly are doing that in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Georgia. And all across Eastern Europe. Most of Eastern Europe is in the EU and NATO now. To be talking about them as communists is at best uninformed. [/QUOTE]
